Could you please be more specific? Are you talking about Windows or Linux? Do you mind giving some references for how to scale core frequencies application-wise

  It's windows only, sadly. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel-extreme-tuning-utility-intel-xtu.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel... There's a very simple menu system to scale up and down the core frequencies, and to select application execution profiles. It comes with internal temp and voltage monitors, and built-in stress tests to benchmark. My main tips are to remove thermal boost, remove core scaling (the heterogeneous frequencies it assigns when only a few cores are active vs all), and to cap all cores to 3-4Ghz, depending on the quality of your passive cooling. No bios adjustments needed, no restarts required, and built-in watchdog to revert if things go poorly. Really nice. Recent, huge bug though: On some platforms, it requires disabling visualization, which limits use of the WSL. That had better be fixed ASAP, it's a big deal.
